Chula Vista

Who?

Great movie though. Tarsem Singh is brilliant.

Johnny Cash sucks because Hank Williams never listened to one of his records.

Dude..........

Because that's how we gage our opinions, right? Just go by what our favourite celebrities think?

EDIT: Chula beat me to the punch.

They actually did the soundtrack.

Lol nah. They're a landmark post-punk band, probably not your dig. You surprise me sometimes though, like with Death Grips.

The case with Zepplin and D. Purple is interesting, I give it that for sure.

Blues IS the original foundation for a great chunk of 20th century genres, early metal included but there is a point which Sabbath definitely pushed where they moved from being blues or hard rock (they did start off as a blues band called Earth, believe it or not!)

The pentatonic scale was surely prevalent before the outburst of metal subgenres in the 90s, Sabbath, Priest, Maiden etc still used them in solos.

D. Purples influence can be blatantly felt in Priest and Maiden to some extent but the same can't really be said the other way around. I don't really think you could confuse Highway Star or Space Trucking for Maiden for example but the influence is there.

D. Purple seemed to have more influence on early prog metal tbh (in the late 80s) but maybe it's just me.



But I find the birth of metal a highly fascinating thing (just like trying to find the most dissonant classical works before the 20th century), sometimes things can surprise you!

No, just context with the the years surrounding Sgt Pepper, other albums that were released. Some stuff I've found to be quite shocking, The Monk one for sure was not your average rock record

I'll dig any band with a killer drummer and bassist till the day I die. I seriously enjoyed that.

I agree that the penatonic scale is still widely prevalent in many forms of metal. Going back to my point earlier about blues rhythm, I think that even though metal holds onto that fun blues box in many ways, it's moved forward as far as tempo and groove goes. Zeppelin took the blues rhythm and amplified that through a funk lens coming out with some very locked in grooves. Thing is though, that's not something you ever see in metal and it's what keeps me from referring to Zeppelin as a metal group despite the roots of it being in their music. I honestly consider that a compliment to their sound, that they can't be boxed in so easily.
